It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like.......



We put our tree up a few weeks ago but I haven't had time to put up any pictures until now. This is the first time that I have actually had a tree that coordinated with my decor. I actually am impressed with this milestone in my life. We still have our other tree, the one with all our home-made decorations, it's downstairs in the "family room" The kids had a fun time decorating that one all by themselves. Jensen took care of our outdoor decorations as well. We didn't put lights on our house, we'll wait for Dad to do that next year.

By the way. Jason will be leaving his Base on the 18th or 19th. He won't be heading home just yet he gets to spend Christmas at some other big military installation. After Christmas sometime he will be leaving Afghanistan for good or bad, it depends on how you want to look at it. So don't send any packages to him anymore he won't get them. But thanks to all those who did, he really appreciated it.

Wonderful, Marvelous, Beautiful, and the tree looks great too. My favorite decorations are, of course, those precious faces in front of the tree. I sure do miss everyone and would love to be there where it really feels like the North Pole. Love you all and love to Jason on the other side of the WORLD! Can't wait for his return. Can you? :) ;)

At least he'll be one step closer! I'm sure that helps make it feel a little more real! We love you guys...you made it I know it's been so hard but you made it all of you... very well I might add, and you should be proud of that! Merry Christmas...and that's a beautiful tree!

To echo the preceding sentiments: That is a lovely tree, you did a right fine job! I will be so happy for you when Jason gets to come home. Does that mean you guys could move back to Mesa?!?! Have a wonderful Christmas Stace!!! I love you!
